Hey. Guess what?
I'm tracking!
Woohoo!
I did pretty good today. My plan for dinner was to make risotto with mushrooms and sauteed cabbage. However, there was no broth for the risotto and MB ate all the cabbage.
Plus, I was starting to get that plague like illness that is going around and I felt like crap. So, pizza it was!
The risotto will be for another day. Mmmm. Risotto.

Thought for the day:
The plague sucks. Seriously.
Weigh in.
It's that time again. Only this time it's the big one.
The first weigh in of the new year.
The one where I see all the damage from the holiday bingefest.
194.2 I gained, of course. I've also gained back most of the weight that I worked so hard to lose.
(sigh)
It's okay though.
It's not the end of the world. I can come back from this. I will come back from this. I will make this right.
I've been feeling like absolute crap lately and that's enough motivation for me to get back on track.
Also, as if I needed any additional motivation, I had another little push in the form of a facebook picture. A friend posted her wedding pictures and there was one of MB and I. I have no intention of posting it here. I will show you exactly what I looked like though..
No exaggeration. Not much anyway.
Did you know that once all of your chins are out there on facebook, you can never get them back. Unless you know how to hack your way into the wedding photographer's website so you can make that one particularly chintastic picture 'disappear'.
Yeah. I don't know how to do that.
Guess I'll just have to learn how to suck in my chin fat until I get my fat ass in shape again.
Who's back on track with me?!

Who's back on track with me?!
Updating my eats.
Hey peeps.
Remember how I said I was going to be on here tracking every day this week?
Yeah.
That didn't happen, as you may have noticed.
I found myself in a sort of sloth this week, interrupted by brief periods of socializing and drinking. And eating. There was lots of eating.
You see, I've worked all the major holidays this year. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve and today, New Year's Day.
That has left me in a little bit of a funk. During my four days off this week (they were my present to myself), I sorta hibernated. If I wasn't required to be working right now, I'd still be hibernating.
Anyway, the eats.
Monday wasn't too bad. I don't really remember what we ate. I know that I went grocery shopping and restocked my fridge with healthy stuff.
Tuesday was my birthday! Woohoo! MB and I went to Red Robin for lunch where I had a burger, fries and a chocolate malt. It's required on your birthday.
Tuesday night, we went out for the 2nd Annual Hey You Stole My Birthday Bar Crawl. Named such because MB and I share the same birthday. We drank with friends at our house, then found our way to a couple local bars and drank some more. We ate fries at one place. I also ate cupcakes that I had made. Only a couple.
Wednesday, I went to happy hour with some work friends and drank a couple beers ($1 beers) and munched on some delicious appetizers (1/2 price apps). Not too many though.
For dinner, MB and I were treated to a gift certificate at the fondue place we love. We indulged in a late dinner with a fondue cheese course, nicoise salad, fondue main course including lobster tail, duck, chicken, peppercorn steak and another type of beef along with some veggies. The dessert course was a fondue creme brulee made of white chocolate with all kinds of sweet treats to dunk.
Thursday, I don't remember what we ate. Honestly.
Friday, I think I made a couple kaiser roll pizzas for lunch and some pasta with spinach and ground turkey for dinner.
Today, I had 2 mini whole wheat bagels for lunch with a navel orange. I had 3 homemade crab cakes and 1 cup broccoli with cheese for lunch. For dinner, I plan to have more of that pasta with spinach and ground turkey.
I haven't eaten too badly this week, but I am not where I want to be. I'm getting there though. I think all the holiday outings are over and it's back to real life. This means, I can focus on getting back on track without so many distractions.
I'm ready. Maybe later, I'll come back on here and talk about my goals for 2011. This is getting kinda long though.
Later.
Happy New Year to you all!
